I am struggling with the finance API. I am calling the lookup function as I have seen many others code on these message boards but I keep receiving "none" as the return value from the function. I have tried it with quite a few live stock tickers with the same results. I have added some print statements so I know my form is receiving the ticker correctly and that look up is returning None.
My code is below as well as my terminal feedback. Does anything here jump off the screen at anyone as being flawed?
PS I am entering export API_KEY=(whatever the long string of letters/symbols) at the command line before I start. If I don't the website will not load.
Thanks, Rob
